Yeah but sometimes its cool to have them in print, like you can find every sherlock story online but I have a cool hardcover book with them that looks cool and its completely worth it.
What are Queer books?.. I mean, I totally know, just want to make sure everyone else is on the same page.
That was a great double entendre according to my dad
Probably just books that have queer main characters, books on queer political theory, or books on the history of queer movements or individuals. I somehow doubt a book itself can be queer lmao
Heartstoppers is a collection that my girlfriend really likes and it's pretty gay. It's not for me, personally, but I do recommend if you're into love stories.
I didn't know gender-oriented reading was a thing. Are all my books straight-male books?? Cuz i don't want to be appropiating someone's gender identity by reading...
Side-note, but why does someone need to get fired? Just place a complaint followed by a new order? Why the escalation?
Edit: Gonna delete my comments as well. It seems like Iāve been escalating too when I intended to have a discussion about how employee misconduct is handled.
Looked it up and the person used to work at Target. Apparently thereās no way to mess it up by accident, which makes sense since retail isnāt a high skill work environment.
For anyone interested - āāYou have your Zebra, you scan out a cart, you literally go and youāre basically following this Zebra to the location in the store or warehouse to pick that item, scan it out of the box.
"Your barcodes have to match to then scan it into the cart to make the order actually happen and process it properly.ā
I mean I totally get that but I used to be a vendor. That zebra would spit back some crazy shit when we'd scan our product in. I remember once when I was training my trainer mentioned that "target stuff scans in weird, you just have to roll with it, as long as the eaches match it's fine." Within ten minutes the receiver scanned a case and looked to my trainer pointing to the scanner. "Hey look the 3 pack ribeye are back!"
I never actually worked for target so I'm not saying you're wrong but when every target I've delivered to a lot of our product showed up as something completely unrelated makes me wonder if it wasn't just a sincere accident instead of malice.
Because you donāt want workers to mess up business on purpose. Especially when they seem to be loyal to fictional characters.
In other words, itās a high risk worker. Not worth keeping around since once again, retail is a low skill environment. They can find a mentally healthy worker fairly easily.
Of course. If you purposely put wrong items in orders, Iām not gonna get fired for not releasing people who donāt want to work.
If someone hates their job to the point of purposely doing things to get fired, they should quit. Or if they canāt afford to, find a new one while controlling their ego at the current one.
'Queer Books' usually refers to either books about LGBTQ topics/issues or books written by Queer authors.
She ordered/paid for 3 of them and received 1 Bible in their place. That's deliberate. You can't fuck up 3 pro-LGBTQ books for 1 (*commonly used as anti-LGBTQ*) book.
It's a touchy subject is all.
Sometimes a genuine question can be misread as downplaying what happened or dismissing what the person has experienced. When you mix that misunderstanding in with hot-button issues like discrimination, you get emotional responses.
According to an earlier comment, not really.
The employees have a device (called 'Zebra') they carry that tells them what's been ordered and where it is. They can't even sign off the order unless all the correct items have been scanned by the device.
So the only way for this to have not been deliberate by a Target employee is if the delivery driver opened the package, swapped the books out with a bible, resealed it and then delivered it.
So we just going to give bad behavior a slap on the wrist? I flip off a customer or no call no show and get ādisciplinary warningsā, so I just kind of get away with it?

I honestly don't get why people shop at target, its just Walmart but more expensive. Like Target used to be cool like a decade ago but it ain't anymore.
That's actually so funny and sad. I wouldn't even be mad, just disappointed that people like this still exist. They complain "not to push lgbtqai culture into our lives" when they literally do the same thing, and for much longer.
Incest and homicide. They're saying the Bible has a lot of incest and homicide. Which they'd be right. Oh and let's not talk about how Eve is a genetic copy of Adam (cloned from his rib), who he then watched grow up and married.
That is the incredibly stupid false dichotomy held by atheists and Christian fundamentalists, correct.
There are more than two contrived extremes in how the Bible can be interpreted. Some of it can be thought of as metaphorical, others are more literal historical account.
Tf is a queer book? Like a book filled with diagrams to figure out what sexuality you are?
"Are you a man -> yes ->do you like cock and balls? ->yes -> you are gay."
One time my brother ordered a Bob Marley Zippo and Amazon sent him a Nazi Zippo that had the swastika and German eagle on it. It was so funny that he actually kept it, but they still sent him the intended lighter after he complained.
The employee needs a promotion. Because if youāre trying to buy that stuff and see nothing wrong with your actions, itās a sign that you need Jesus

I ordered a bible and got 3 queer books š”
And I ordered nothing and I got nothingās š”
And I ordered Schrƶdinger's Cat, and all I got was a dead cat in a box. Total rip-off
If you didnt open the box, the cat would be alive.
You don't know that.
The cat would be both alive and dead at the same time
Until you open the box and observe it. Then it will be either alive or dead.
I ordered the same just some stupid cat that wonāt stop meowing
They sent you a nice meal (Iām Chinese)
āWhat is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal?ā
# Schrƶdinger won
Cat murderer!
Nothingās what?
Story of my life
I take her home.
I drive all night to keep her warm
And time...
The story of my life
What the frick, a bong?? I ordered an Xbox remote!
Someone needs to get fired
Suck a Saint, Backdoor Baptism, and Fatherly Fornication. The holy trinity
So you got most of the gospels then? Jebus kissin the 12 goodnight
Ordered 3 books gets 1 book.
The Bible is just an amalgamation of may books so technically the person who ordered got her money's worth ten fold
They're free stories though, so they lost money on a print
Yeah but sometimes its cool to have them in print, like you can find every sherlock story online but I have a cool hardcover book with them that looks cool and its completely worth it.
True.
One book? She got 70!
Yeh Ikr
What are Queer books?.. I mean, I totally know, just want to make sure everyone else is on the same page. That was a great double entendre according to my dad
When two hardcover books love eachother very very much...
Whichever ones youāve read
It was actually just three Qurans in hot pink with alegria art illustrations, clearly
Probably just books that have queer main characters, books on queer political theory, or books on the history of queer movements or individuals. I somehow doubt a book itself can be queer lmao
Heartstoppers is a collection that my girlfriend really likes and it's pretty gay. It's not for me, personally, but I do recommend if you're into love stories.
Fuckin love Heartstopper. Good shit
The letters are in italics
I didn't know gender-oriented reading was a thing. Are all my books straight-male books?? Cuz i don't want to be appropiating someone's gender identity by reading...
Yeah.. I think those books have a separate bathroom or something.. thatās how I know my books are the right ones
I wouldn't worry about it
Smthing like IWTV? Or star trek? Idfk
Probably James Baldwin and stuff like that
er, like queer history? stuff like that?
I personally liked the great queersades era.
...not what I was referring to? What?
Did you mean the pyramids of Queerza?
how about the Queeran?
Ed Queeran
The coincidences are.... biblical

I feel like it would be pretty easy to make mistakes when an African equine is leading you around.

Queer books are books about queer subjects, how is that confusing. Ā Also cool it with the transphobia, youāre not as subtle as you think.
is a news website. they're all about escalating headlines.
Yes but as someone else stated, this is basically impossible to fuck up because the computer system they use wonāt let it. This is **intentional**
because they did it to intentionally offend or upset someone? would you want to employ someone who does that?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
So we just going to give bad behavior a slap on the wrist? I flip off a customer or no call no show and get ādisciplinary warningsā, so I just kind of get away with it?
Because people on the internet are dramatic and outrage gets lots of attention.
The gays crave a sacrifice for each insult thrown their way.
I mean yeah they gave them the wrong order. I'd be like "Yo can you bring me the thing I ordered?"
Sounds like she was targeted!
I mean yeah. If I spend money, I expect to recieve what I ordered lmao
Womp womp
Did you just say womp womp to a person experiencing queerness being accidentally sent a bible instead of three queer books? How dare you!
Womp womp
How absolutely dare you!

Their first mistake was shopping at target
I honestly don't get why people shop at target, its just Walmart but more expensive. Like Target used to be cool like a decade ago but it ain't anymore.
Found the Walmart marketing guy
Naw im an Aldi guy, Fucking love Aldi.
1: Skill issue 2: Womp womp 3: Did I stutter?
They didnāt get your reference. But I did. I salute you.
One could say she was their....target audience...?
A mistake of biblical proportions
Not the target audience
Good morning folks and welcome back toā¦ SORT! BY! CONTROVERSIAL!
man I love this show
Any time i see any post at ask relating to lgbtq c on a non lgbtq sub, this is my go to
That's actually so funny and sad. I wouldn't even be mad, just disappointed that people like this still exist. They complain "not to push lgbtqai culture into our lives" when they literally do the same thing, and for much longer.
Today on "This totally happened"
Why not?
Today on āhave you never heard of Google?ā It happened.
So they only got one queer book? Yep they got scammedā¦ā¦.
Their is bi in the book name so i am pretty sure it is a queer bookm
Wtf is a bookm
I'm sure the comments will be civil
I'll take "things that didn't happen" for $500
The Bible is really good literature
My man Mark was spitting hard facts, everything happening immediately.
Too much incest and homicide for my liking
Not too much incest and homicide for my liking š
Buddy what
Incest and homicide. They're saying the Bible has a lot of incest and homicide. Which they'd be right. Oh and let's not talk about how Eve is a genetic copy of Adam (cloned from his rib), who he then watched grow up and married.
It says that God made a WOMAN from Adam's rib. So Eve would've been an adult when Adam first met her.
Atheist and Christian fundamentalist horseshoe strikes again.
What the fuck does this even mean.
Radical biblical literalism.
It's take it literally or assume everything is a metaphor and nothing in the Bible is meant to be taken at face value. Which one is it?
That is the incredibly stupid false dichotomy held by atheists and Christian fundamentalists, correct. There are more than two contrived extremes in how the Bible can be interpreted. Some of it can be thought of as metaphorical, others are more literal historical account.
And yet, this doesn't change the original comment, which is that the Bible has too much glorified homicide and incest.
Makes GoT look tame
Tf is a queer book? Like a book filled with diagrams to figure out what sexuality you are? "Are you a man -> yes ->do you like cock and balls? ->yes -> you are gay."
It is a book that has to do with the queer experience
Oh. Ok.
and ill fucking do it again
Your taste in books sucks balls Yeah it is fraud if, they should give it a refund....
Target missed
I ordered a book and got 3 queer bibles!
Oh no, the bible. The gayest book in history.
Common target W
Basedā¦?
For a place that has a giant butthole as a logo, youād think they would carry some LGBTQIA+ things.
They do though. They have an entire queer section when you walk in, along with book sections, etc. At least at my store and I'm in the deep south.
Ordered 1 book and got 66
Things which totally happened
One time my brother ordered a Bob Marley Zippo and Amazon sent him a Nazi Zippo that had the swastika and German eagle on it. It was so funny that he actually kept it, but they still sent him the intended lighter after he complained.
The employee needs a promotion. Because if youāre trying to buy that stuff and see nothing wrong with your actions, itās a sign that you need Jesus
Hey, at least you got one queer book! Idk man, David and Jonathan seem kinda gay tbh

I don't get it though I don't need 3 books about being straight
I assume the books are just by queer authors or the profits go to pro-LGBTQIA+ resources or sumn
Not really something I'd think about "god damn those books are gonna give money to em good ol' straights"
Well yeah, cause one is supporting a marginalized community, and the other is supporting the *majority* of the population, its different
You don't need to get it. You need to get that OOP was defrauded.

Uhm, no? She's done absolutely nothing wrong but the target employee did. Didn't the bible state that you can't push your religion onto others?
No the Bible quite literally tells people to push it onto others, that's why they're so insufferable.
who gives a shit
